AI compresses trauma calls by 80%

Paramedics call ahead during trauma transport.

That call is often the only information the hospital gets.

More than 98% of the words in these calls are nonmedical. The rest gets lost in noise, static, and time pressure.

A new study tested an AI model on pediatric trauma calls. It stripped the noise and compressed each transcript by 80%.

Accuracy matched trauma staff.

Here's the real finding. When trauma staff were exposed to the AI's read after making an incorrect triage decision, it tripled their odds of correcting that decision.

Not a replacement for judgment. A second set of ears when it matters most.
